The Pursuit of Happiness: Philosophical and Psychological Foundations of Utility
Oxford: Oxford University Press. Edited by Brian Skyrms (2020)
Abstract
Utilitarianism is one of the most famous ethical doctrines, based on the ideal of maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. But Utilitarians and their opponents lack a clear scientific and philosophical understanding of its foundations, the measurement and aggregation of utility. This is what The Pursuit of Happiness now offers.Author's Profile
